Area of Science:

  • Organizational Psychology
  • Educational Technology
  • Behavioral Science

Background:

  • Traditional corporate training methods like cognitive-behavioral training (CBT) are widely adopted.
  • Gamification is an emerging approach with potential for enhancing training efficacy.
  • Serious Play Training (SPT) is a novel gamification-based intervention for professional development.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy of a new gamification-based Serious Play Training (SPT) intervention.
  • To compare SPT with a standard Cognitive-Behavioral Training (CBT) program.
  • To explore the learning mechanisms (group cohesion, discriminative thinking) underlying intervention effects.

Main Methods:

  • A randomized controlled trial involving 250 Chinese working adults.
  • Participants were assigned to SPT, CBT, or waitlist conditions.
  • Team effectiveness and coping flexibility were primary and secondary outcomes, respectively.

Main Results:

  • The SPT group showed significant improvements in team effectiveness, mediated by increased group cohesion.
  • Both SPT and CBT groups demonstrated enhanced coping flexibility, explained by improved discriminative thinking.
  • SPT showed unique benefits for team effectiveness compared to CBT.

Conclusions:

  • Gamification through SPT is effective for enhancing team effectiveness in corporate training.
  • SPT and CBT both improve coping flexibility, with different underlying mechanisms.
  • These findings support the use of gamification for team-building and personal coping skills development.
